Carlile House, Heritage listed site in Grey Lynn, Auckland, New Zealand
The two-storey brick building features Italianate architecture with limestone details, arched windows, and a central columned portico at the entrance point.
Edward Costley provided £12,500 in 1886 to establish the Costley Training Institute, which operated as a facility for boys until its closure in 1908.
The building transformed through various functions, from a children's home to the Church Army headquarters, before being acquired by the United Church of Tonga in 1976.
Located at 84 Richmond Road, the structure requires substantial repairs and remains closed to public access due to safety concerns and deteriorating conditions.
The property hosted dance performances in 2002 that addressed New Zealand immigration themes through the experiences of Tongan immigrants since the 1950s.
